Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an electronic device having an auto-login function.

BACKGROUND ART Recently, the use of so-called personal computer communication, which uses telephone lines to access communication network services, has become popular. Along with this, electronic devices such as communication terminals and personal computers are becoming more and more intelligent.In addition to automatic dialing functions that automatically dial the destination of communication, identification codes (IDs) that confirm network service sessions are becoming more and more intelligent. ) There is an auto-login function that automates input, etc.

In other words, response data corresponding to prompts sent from the host side of the network is stored in advance, and when a prompt is sent, the response data corresponding to the prompt is selected and sent, thereby automatically starting the session. (For example, the date is Magazine Nikkei PC June 1988 20A4+P269
-276).

f→ Invention tries to solve! I! ! During the auto-login operation, the electronic device that receives the prompt from the host side compares it with pre-stored prompt data, and if they match, it uses the stored response corresponding to the prompt. Since it is configured to read and send data, depending on the telephone line conditions, errors in the communication path may cause garbled characters in the received message. For example, the prompt rPAssWORD: J is rP
B88WORD:J may be mistakenly transmitted. If a prompt is sent incorrectly like this, the auto-login function will not work because it will not match the pre-registered prompt, and the operator will have to manually input the response data each time. did not become. Particularly in the case of networks that communicate with foreign countries, there is a problem in that telephone line errors occur frequently and the auto-login function is almost useless.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned problems, and provides an electronic device configured to activate an auto-login function if the error rate is within a predetermined range.

B) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides means for storing prompt data identical to the prompt transmitted from the host side and response data corresponding to the prompt, and a method for comparing the received prompt and the stored prompt. The system is composed of a comparison means for performing the comparison, and a control means for determining the error rate based on the comparison result and controlling the auto-login function.

(e) Operation With the present invention configured as described above, when the resultant error rate of comparison of prompts is within a predetermined range, the control means transmits response data corresponding to the received prompt. Control is performed so that auto-login is activated and the auto-login operation is canceled when the error rate exceeds a predetermined range.

(F) Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings, taking as an example a case where a personal computer is used.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a personal computer according to the present invention (11 is a control circuit composed of a microprocessor and responsible for overall control according to a program stored in advance in a program memory (2). 3) is a keyboard for inputting various command signals and data, including alphanumeric keys,
It consists of a numeric keypad and function keys. (
4) Keyboard f3+! This is a display device that displays data input by the control circuit 111 and data processed by the control circuit 111, and is composed of a CRT or LCD. (5) is a data memory in which data input via the keyboard (3) or data processed by the control circuit 1υ is stored, and as shown in Figure 5, the type of network displayed on the display (4) According to
5B) to (5E) and an area (5F) where other data is stored.

A modem circuit (6) connects the telephone line 0 and the control lines #&t, u, and is connected to the telephone line υ via a line connection circuit (7). (8) is a dialing signal generation circuit that automatically generates a dialing signal based on the telephone number data stored in the data memory (5) under the control of the control circuit 113, and is connected via the line connection circuit (7). Telephone line ■
Sends a dial signal to. The line connection circuit (7) is under the control of the control circuit ( ) telephone port! ! ■It is configured to connect.

Next, the operation of the present invention having such a configuration will be explained.

First, prior to use, predetermined data is set in the data memory (5) by operating predetermined keys on the keyboard (3). That is, corresponding to the communication network service shown in FIG. 5, the telephone number data of the communication destination is input and written in the area (5A) of the data memory (5). Next, in response to the communication network service, prompts and corresponding response data that are transmitted sequentially are inputted sequentially from the keyboard (3) and written to predetermined areas (5B) to (5B) of the data memory (5). It's crowded.

After setting the predetermined data in this way, when accessing a network service, the network service selection menu shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the display (4) by operating a predetermined key on the keyboard (3). keyboard (3
) to select the desired network service.

At step (Sl), the control circuit (11) detects that the network service has been selected, and after setting the counter configured in J to "0",
) controls the a line connection circuit (7) and connects the telephone port a②.

Next, in step (S5), the area (5) of the data memory (5)
A) Read the telephone number data corresponding to the selected network service, and then control the dial signal generation circuit (8) to transmit a dial signal based on the telephone number data read in step (S4). , connects with the network service.After dialing, the control circuit (11) proceeds to step (S5) and checks whether or not a prompt from the host side of the network service has been received. The control circuit +l+ that detected the problem is the domain of data memory (5) M
(Writes the received prompt to 5FJ. Next, the control circuit 11J proceeds to step (S6) and compares the received prompt with prompt data preset in the data memory (5). Assuming that the first network service is selected in the first menu screen shown below, the prompt data is read from the area (5B) of the data memory (5) corresponding to the first one. Data memory (5
1 area (first prong from 5B) rUsBRI
DJ is read and compared with the received prompt to determine the number of errors. Next step (S7
), the error rate is calculated and determined, and in step (S8) it is determined whether the calculated error rate is within a predetermined range. Assuming that the predetermined range is currently set to 20%,
In the case of the prompt rUsERIDJ, if there is one mistake, the error is less than 20%, but if two or more are incorrect, the error is 20% or less.
It will exceed %. As a result, if there is one error or less, the process proceeds to step 69 (89) with an error rate within a predetermined range, and the data memory (5) is transferred to the digital memory (FIBERIDJ).
The response data rABcDBJ corresponding to is read out and sent to the telephone line 0 via the modem circuit (6). This automatically causes the extraction of predetermined response data in response to a prompt from a network service.

After sending the first response data, the control circuit (11) checks the data memory (5) in step (s103) to determine whether the sending of all response data has been completed. If not, the control circuit (11 is step (S5
) and detects reception of the next prompt. The host side that receives the first response data sends the next prompt. The host side of the currently connected network service will next send the rPAssWORDJ prompt, so the control time when the prompt is detected!
il+ performs steps (S6) to (810) in the same manner as described above.
), the response data r12345J corresponding to the prompt rPAsSWORDJ is sent.

Thereafter, when the same process is repeated and all the response data are sent, the session with the network service is established, and the control circuit 111 returns to step (8).
10) Proceed to the next process. In this way, a session with a network service can be established automatically.

By the way, the control circuit (υ) that has detected that the error rate is within a predetermined range in the determination in step (S8) proceeds to step (811), cancels the auto-login function, and controls the line connection circuit (7). Then, the process proceeds to step (812) and the counter is incremented by 1. Then, in step (S15), it is determined whether or not the kakunme value has reached ``I''4J. If not, step (
Proceed to step S2) and repeat the session establishment operation again. However, if the session is not established even after repeating the process, the session is not established even after repeating the process 5 times (S15).
The control circuit (II) that detected 4, in which the counter value became "4", stops and returns to the standby state.

Note that the range of error rate in step (S8) is not limited to 20% and can be set arbitrarily.
